MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA (October 19, 2004) – Emerson’s just-published, Fisher® "Control Valve Sourcebook" presents selection and application guidelines for control valves covering 14 key processes typically found within today’s refineries.  Each chapter begins with a brief process description, followed by a simplified line drawing of the process with key control valve locations identified.  Then, for each control valve there’s a quick description of the valve’s function, followed by specs for one or more Fisher valves that can meet the requirements.  Also, the text identifies the impact that each valve can have on the process, plus it gives any special considerations to be made in selecting a valve.
